The end result is responsive, effective representation and support in all areas of U.S. immigration and nationality law.

Strategic Planning & Corporate Policy Development

Immigration policies enable corporate and institutional clients to ensure consistent treatment of their valued personnel and avoid the potential legal consequences of failing to do so. BIL assists such clients with developing comprehensive immigration policies consistent with their cultures and values. BIL also assists corporate and institutional clients with creating strategic plans for maximizing their investments in personnel receiving immigration sponsorship.

Immigration Training and Compliance

BIL’s Audit, Compliance and Training (ACT) Team performs in-house audits and evaluations of employers’ immigration processing and compliance practices. BIL’s ACT Team regularly trains clients in immigration processes and best practices in immigration compliance (for example, I-9, H-1B LCA public access files and antidiscrimination). According to a client’s wishes, BIL also leads or assists with the implementation of such processes and practices.

Government Investigations & Audits

BIL’s Audit, Compliance and Training (ACT) team is immediately available to defend clients undergoing government investigations or audits of their immigration compliance. BIL’s ACT Team is experienced in representing employers, and protecting their interests, in government audits of I-9; H-1B LCA public access files; and antidiscrimination compliance. The ACT Team reviews the current status of a client’s compliance, assesses the client’s potential exposure, and represents the client in negotiations of an appropriate resolution or, if necessary, in administrative proceedings.

Global Immigration Services

BIL relies on a network of global visa advisors and in-country co-counsel to provide information, guidance and assistance to clients on immigration matters for the international movement of personnel to, and between, countries outside of the United States.
